Aquarius
is the eleventh sign of the Zodiac.
It is ruled by serious Saturn and shocking Uranus.
What a combination! A strong and solid sign, Aquarius governs
the mind and originality. You are an air sign, which
means you are intelligent, unorthodox and
creative. You also tend to be detached and personally uninvolved.

Saturn, your sun planet, is
the ruler of the outer darkness. Uranus is the planet of the
unorthodox, and that makes you unpredictable.
In other words, you often do unexpected things that shock or surprise people.
Yet,
because of Saturn's influence, you can appear strong and solid.
You can work well in a structured or defined setting.

You are an idealist. At the same time, you are an independent
thinker.

As
a solid aquarian, you can be stubborn. You resist
imposed changes. You tend to rebel if someone
demands something unreasonable of you. Aquarians
are naturally skeptical.

In relationships,
you can seem mentally interested, but not passionate or possessive.
Of course, you do not really lack passion. When you focus your
feelings, your passion is strong.

You are probably a great cook. However, you'll eat just about anything!
You like sports that include other people. Camping, ballooning, tennis,
racquetball and baseball are cool for you. Aquarians are well-suited
as inventors, politicians, writers, scientists, astronauts, artists
and, you guessed it, astrologers!

Aquarian colours are
silver, aqua, purple and bright pink and blue. Your birthstone
is amethyst, the healing
gemstone. The ametyst returns
and keeps mental balance. Flowers for Aquarians include the
gladioli, tiger lily, trillium and bird of paradise. Your animal
symbol
is the snow goose.

Suggestions on Handling Difficult Situations

Situation: You
feel left alone while others enjoy the friendships you want so
much.Suggestion: Practice accepting
people the way they are. Having faults is okay.

Situation: You
always seem to miss the boat when it comes to love.Suggestion: Try letting down
your mental guard. Get in touch with your emotions
and express them more.

Situation: You
can't get better jobs or big promotions at work.
Suggestion: Practice working with others more. Learn teamwork and group effort.
The lone wolf approach will get you nowhere.

Situation: You
seem to get sick more often than you should.Suggestion: Practice expressing
your feelings more. When you hold back your emotions,
you get sick. Express your feelings but do it with
tact.
